Objective@#To examine the inflammatory indicators in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), so as to provide insights into early screening and recognition of OSCC.@*Methods@#A total of 86 OSCC patients, 61 patients with chronic periodontitis (CP) and 71 patients without the above diseases were selected from Peking University Hospital of Stomatology and were enrolled in the OSCC group, CP group and control group. Procalcitonin (PCT), serum amyloid A (SAA), C-reactive protein (CRP), white blood cell count (WBC), neutrophil percentage (NEUT%), neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), lymphocyte to monocyte ratio (LMR), platelet count and lymphocyte ratio (PLR) were measured in peripheral blood. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to evaluate the effectiveness of the aforementioned inflammatory indicators in OSCC screening.@*Results@#The OSCC group consisted of 46 males and 40 females, with a median age of 59.50 (interquartile range, 18.25) years; the CP group consisted of 32 males and 29 females, with a median age of 53.00 (interquartile range, 14.50) years; the control group consisted of 36 males and 35 females, with a median age of 54.00 (interquartile range, 16.00) years. Compared with the control group and the CP group, the PCT, SAA, CRP, WBC, NEUT%, NLR and PLR in the OSCC group were increased, and the LMR was decreased, and the difference was statistically significant (all P<0.05). The combined use of PCT, SAA and CRP had a good effect in distinguishing the OSCC group from the control group, with an area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.992, which was higher than the individual identification of the 8 indicators (all P<0.05). The combined use of PCT, WBC, and NLR also had a good effect in distinguishing the OSCC group from the CP group, with an AUC value of 0.841, which was higher than the individual identification of WBC, LMR and PLR (all P<0.05).@*Conclusion@#Compared with patients with CP, as well as patients without OSCC and CP, patients with OSCC exhibit significant differences in inflammatory indicator levels, which may facilitate early identification of OSCC.

Objective@#To investigate the efficacy of antibacterial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) as an adjunct to subgingival scaling and root planning in the treatment of chronic periodontitis.@*Methods@#This study followed medical ethics guidelines, and informed consent was obtained from all patients. Sixteen patients were recruited for this randomized split-mouth controlled trial. The control group underwent subgingival scaling and root planning (SRP), while the experimental group received subgingival scaling and root planing plus aPDT treatment using Perowave® with a toluidine blue O solution photosensitizer. The probing pocket depth (PD), recession, plaque index (PLI), bleeding index (BI) and proportion of positive sites of bleeding on probing (BOP) (BOP%) at all sites were examined at baseline (before treatment) and at 1, 3 and 6 months after treatment.@*Results@#Follow-up was completed for 13 patients. On the control side, 356 teeth were tested at 2 136 sites. A total of 360 teeth on the test side and 2 160 sites were included in the study. Before treatment, there was no significant difference in the baseline indicators between the two groups. After treatment, both groups showed significant improvement in clinical parameters, including PD, PLI, BI, and BOP%,compared with baseline. At 3 months, the BOP% and PLI in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). The improvement in BOP% and PLI in the experimental group was significantly greater than that in the control group 3 months after treatment (P<0.05).@*Conclusion@#aPDT, as an adjuvant treatment to SRP for chronic periodontitis, can improve gingival bleeding and control periodontal inflammation in the early stage.
Résumé
Introduction: Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease that affects the supporting tissues of teeth, the effects of excess of nitric oxide, may contribute to the symptoms of periodontitis. Objective: To determine the serum nitric oxide concentration in generalized chronic and aggressive periodontitis patients and to compare it with a healthy subject group from the Mexican population. Materials and methods: A case and control study was performed. Sixty-nine individuals were recruited from the Clínica de Posgrado de Periodoncia of the Centro Universitario de Ciencias de la Salud, Universidad de Guadalajara, México. Patients with clinical features of generalized chronic periodontitis (GCP group, n=19), generalized aggressive periodontitis (GAP group, n=11), and a group of healthy subjects (HS group, n=39) were included in the study. Informed consent was obtained from each subject, and serum nitric oxide concentration was measured by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results: Nitric oxide concentration in the study groups was greater in the GCP group (462.57 ± 16.57 µmol/L) than in the GAP group (433.84 ± 18.61 µmol/L) and the HS group (422.46 ± 12.07 µmol/L). A comparison using Student's t-test (one-tailed) between healthy subjects and generalized chronic periodontitis showed borderline significance (p<0.04), whereas no significant differences were observed in HS and GAP groups, with a p-value of 0.64, and the GAP vs. GCP p-value was 0.33. Conclusion: The serum nitric oxide concentration observed in the present study suggests that nitric oxide plays a major role in the inflammatory process, which cannot necessarily be linked to the severity of the disease and periodontal tissue destruction.
Introducción. La periodontitis es una enfermedad inflamatoria que afecta los tejidos de soporte dental; los efectos del exceso de óxido nítrico pueden contribuir a los síntomas de la periodontitis. Objetivo. Determinar la concentración de óxido nítrico en el suero de los pacientes con periodontitis agresiva y crónica generalizada, y compararla con la de individuos sanos de población mexicana. Materiales y métodos. Se trata de un estudio de casos y controles. Se incluyeron 69 individuos de la Clínica de Posgrado de Periodoncia del Centro Universitario de Ciencias de la Salud de la Universidad de Guadalajara. Se dividieron en tres grupos: pacientes con periodontitis crónica generalizada (GCP, n=19), pacientes con periodontitis agresiva generalizada (GAP, n=11) e individuos sanos periodontalmente (HS, n=39). Se obtuvo el consentimiento informado de todos los participantes. Se utililizó la prueba ELISA para medir la concentración de óxido nítrico en suero. Resultados. Las concentraciones de óxido nítrico observadas fueron mayores en el grupo GCP (462,57 ± 16,57 µmol/L) que en los grupos GAP (433,84 ± 18,61 µmol/L) y HS (422,46 ± 12,07 µmol/L). La comparación entre HS y GCP mediante la prueba estadística t de Student (una cola), mostró diferencias significativas (p<0,04), y no se observaron diferencias entre los grupos HS y GAP (p=0,64), ni entre GAP y GCP (p=0,33). Conclusiones. La concentración de óxido nítrico en suero, observada en el presente estudio, sugiere que el óxido nítrico desempeña un importante papel en el proceso inflamatorio, lo que no necesariamente está ligado a la gravedad de la enfermedad ni a la destrucción del tejido periodontal.

Introdução: A doença periodontal, de origem infecciosa, constitui diferentes quadros clínicos de caráter multifatorial e inflamatório. A fotobiomodulação é uma técnica não invasiva que tem demonstrado ser capaz de diminuir a inflamação e proporcionar alívio da dor. Estudos também demonstraram que a adoção da fotobiomodulação adjuvante à raspagem e alisamento radicular tem sido capaz de reduzir a carga bacteriana proveniente da periodontite crônica. Objetivos: Analisar os efeitos da fotobiomodulação como terapia adjuvante à raspagem e ao alisamento radicular no tratamento da periodontite crônica publicados nos últimos cinco anos. Métodos: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, realizada no período de setembro a novembro de 2021, mediante a utilização dos seguintes descritores: "Periodontitis", "Photobiomodulation" e "Therapy, selecionando artigos publicados em inglês durante o período entre 2016 a 2021. Resultados: Foram identificados 47 trabalhos. Destes, foram excluídos 39 estudos que se dispersaram do tema e 2 que se encontravam indisponíveis para o acesso, resultando em 6 artigos que foram consultados integralmente. Foi consenso entre os artigos consultados que a prática da fotobiomodulação tornou-se um potencial agente terapêutico no tratamento da periodontite crônica contribuindo para a redução da contagem de periodontopatógenos e que atua de maneira coadjuvante às raspagens radiculares. Conclusão: A fotobiomodulação mostrou-se uma ferramenta promissora na área odontológica. Entretanto, a grande variedade nos parâmetros de tratamentos e protocolos utilizados na fotobiomodulação impossibilita uma comparação e uma análise mais crítica e rigorosa dos resultados obtidos nos trabalhos analisados.
Introduction: Periodontal disease, which has an infectious origin, constitutes a multifactorial and inflammatory different clinical condition of multifactorial, inflammatory, and infectious origin. Photobiomodulation is a non-invasive technique that has been shown to decrease inflammation and provide pain relief. Studies also have shown that the choosing of photobiomodulation as adjuvant therapy to scaling and root planing has been able to reduce the bacterial load from chronic periodontitis. Objectives: To analyze the effects of photobiomodulation as an adjuvant therapy to scaling and root planing in the treatment of chronic periodontitis in the studies published in the last five years. Methods: This is an integrative literature review, carried out from September to November 2021, using the following descriptors: "Periodontitis", "Photobiomodulation" and "Therapy, from selected articles published in English during the period between 2016 to 2021. Results: From the research and selection of studies to compose this integrative literature review, 47 studies were initially identified based on the descriptors. From those, 39 papers that were outside from the topic and 2 papers that were unavailable for access were excluded from the present review. Then remained, 6 articles that were fully consulted. The practice of photobiomodulation has become a potential therapeutic agent in the treatment of chronic periodontitis reducing the count of periodontopathogens and as an adjunct therapy to root scaling. Conclusion: Photobiomodulation therapy has become a promising tool in the dental field, however, the great variety in the treatment parameters and protocols used for photobiomodulation makes impossible to compare and perform a more critical and rigorous analysis of the results collected in the present work.

OBJECTIVES@#To investigate possible cross-talk genes, associated pathways, and transcription factors between chronic periodontitis (CP) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).@*METHODS@#The gene expression profiles of CP (GSE10334 and GSE16134) and COPD (GSE76925) were downloaded from the GEO database. Differential expression and functional clustering analyses were performed. The protein‑protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed. The core cross-talk genes were filtered using four topological analysis algorithms and modular segmentation. Then, functional clustering analysis was performed again.@*RESULTS@#GSE10334 detected 164 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) (119 upregulated and 45 downregulated). GSE16134 identified 208 DEGs (154 upregulated and 54 downregulated). GSE76925 identified 1 408 DEGs (557 upregulated and 851 downregulated). The PPI network included 21 nodes and 20 edges. The final screening included seven cross-talk genes: CD79A, FCRLA, CD19, IRF4, CD27, SELL, and CXCL13. Relevant pathways included primary immunodeficiency, the B-cell receptor signaling pathway, and cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction.@*CONCLUSIONS@#This study indicates the probability of shared pathophysiology between CP and COPD, and their cross-talk genes, associated pathways, and transcription factors may offer novel concepts for future mechanistic investigations.

@#Chronic periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease caused by plaque microorganisms, and removal of plaque and calculus is the gold standard for nonsurgical periodontal treatment. However, complete debridement is difficult, especially in some complex anatomical sites. Excessive scaling may result in the loss of healthy cementum and lead to dental hypersensitivity. Studies have shown that a diode laser can exhibit the best performance in an environment with blood because its wavelengths (630-1 064 nm) are close to the absorption peaks of heme and melanin and they have broad application prospects in the oral field. In nonsurgical periodontal treatment, diode lasers have three treatment modes: soft diode laser, antimicrobial photodynamic therapy and low-level laser therapy, which can be used alone or in combination. Although diode lasers cannot replace mechanical treatment to remove calculus, they can remove infected periodontal pocket epithelium, change the microcirculation to promote wound healing, reduce bleeding and relieve pain through photothermal effects and biological stimulation. The effect of diode laser treatment depends on the treatment dose. It is necessary to precisely control the output intensity and control the irradiation time to avoid thermal damage to the tissue. In the future, extensive research at the molecular level is needed to reveal the tissue response. At the same time, more high-quality, large-sample randomized controlled trials are needed to standardize the use of lasers for different stages and grades of periodontitis.

Objective@# To investigate the diagnosis and treatment for oral mucositis induced by low-dose methotrexate and to provide a reference for clinicians@*Methods @# A case of severe chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis caused by short-term use of low-dose methotrexate (the maximum cumulative dose within 1 week) was reported and reviewed in combination with the literature.@*Results@# The patient was treated with low-dose methotrexate (2.5 mg orally every other day at weeks 1, 2, and 4; the third week, 2.5 mg each time for 3 consecutive days for twice, with a maximum cumulativedose of 15 mg within a week). After irregular medication for approximately three weeks, the patient gradually developed severe erosion of the lips, pain, difficulty eating, and skin erosion on both legs. Methotrexate was stopped after admission, and local symptomatic treatments such as Kangfuxin solution were given. Recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor was used systemically when combined with neutropenia. After treatment, the chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis and skin lesions were improved. A literature review shows that chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis is a toxic reaction to high-dose methotrexate, while cases of severe chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis caused by low-dose methotrexate are rare. Studies have found that the more risk factors patients have, such as poor local oral conditions and systemic diseases such as liver and kidney dysfunction and diabetes, the higher the risk of chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis. Clinicians should cooperate with dentists to address oral diseases as much as possible before using chemotherapy drugs. In addition, when ordering patients to take methotrexate, we should pay attention to the patient's general condition and susceptibility factors, standardize the frequency and dose of administration, adopt personalized treatment plans, and give patients detailed medication education to prevent the occurrence of adverse consequences caused by medication errors. If methotrexate poisoning occurs, the drug should be stopped in time, detoxification and active symptomatic and supportive treatment should be given. Basic oral care, cryotherapy, laser therapy, nutritional support and analgesic drugs are common treatments for chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis. Systemic administration of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor may be considered when accompanied by neutropenia.@*Conclusion@# It is necessary to be alert to the occurrence of severe chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis caused by low-dose methotrexate in clinical practice.

Objective:To explore the effect of silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1) activator SRT1720 on inflammatory response in chronic periodontal disease mice and whether its mechanism is related to the toll like receptor 4 (TLR4)/nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) signaling pathway.Methods:Forty 8-week-old male C57BL/6 mice were selected and divided into a blank control group ( n=8) and an experimental group ( n=32). The experimental group mice were ligated with periodontal pockets and fed with high sugar drinking water. The experimental group was randomly divided into a model group ( n=8) and an SRT1720 group ( n=24). The blank control group and the model group were given physiological saline orally every day. The SRT1720 group was further divided into a low dose group [20 mg/(kg·d), n=8], a medium dose group [50 mg/(kg·d), n=8], and a high dose group [100 mg/(kg·d), n=8] based on the different doses of SRT1720. Four weeks later, the expression levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) in gingival crevicular fluid of mice in each group were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA); The real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) method was used to detect the mRNA expression levels of IL-6, IL-1β, MCP-1, SIRT1, TLR4, NF-kB p65 in the gingival tissue of mice in each group; Western blot was used to determine the expression levels of SIRT1, TLR4, and NF-κB p65 proteins in mouse gingival tissue. Results:Compared with the blank control group, the expression levels of IL-6, IL-1β, and MCP-1 inflammatory factors in the gingival crevicular fluid of experimental group mice increased, while the expression levels of IL-6, IL-1β, MCP-1, TLR4, NF-κB p65 mRNA in gingival tissue increased. The expression levels of TLR4, NF-κB p65 protein in gingival tissue increased, while the expression levels of SIRT1 mRNA and protein in gingival tissue decreased, with statistical significance (all P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the expression levels of IL-6, IL-1β, and MCP-1 inflammatory factors in the gingival crevicular fluid, IL-6, IL-1β, MCP-1, TLR4, NF-κB p65 mRNA expression levels in gingival tissue, and TLR4, NF-κB p65 protein expression levels in the gingival tissue of SRT1720 group mice showed a dose-dependent decrease. The expression levels of SIRT1 mRNA and protein in gingival tissue showed a dose-dependent increase, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Conclusions:SIRT1 activator SRT1720 can improve the inflammatory response of chronic periodontal disease mice, which may be related to the inhibition of TLR4/NF-kB signaling pathway.
Résumé
Background: A working knowledge of the prevalence of hypersensitivity in chronic periodontitis patients, is imperative to adequate prognostication, treatment planning and outcome. The present study, is a primary report of the prevalence of dentinal hypersensitivity, in relation to various patient characteristics (demographic and clinical) in chronic periodontitis patients visiting Government Dental College and Hospital, Srinagar, J&K.Material & Methods:A cross-sectional study design was used to evaluate 100 male and 100 female patients diagnosed with chronic periodontitis both by questionnaire and clinical test for the presence of dentinal hypersensitivity, in relation to various features.Results:An overall prevalence of 34% was found for self-reported and 42 % for actual dentinal hypersensitivity in chronic periodontitis patients. It was highest in females, undergraduates, rural subjects and canine teeth. The most common provoking stimulus was cold, and duration of hypersensitivity was less than 6 months. Clinical attachment loss was found to be more often associated with hypersensitivity than clinical gingival recession.76% of the patients reporting hypersensitivity also reported the use of desensitizing toothpaste.The reported prevalence of hypersensitivity was in concordance with other reports from dental college clinics. The particular geo-social background of the study location could have contributed to the observed difference in precipitating factors, effect of diet, and treatment seeking behaviour. Conclusion: The prevalence of dentine hypersensitivity in chronic periodontitis patients was 34% according to questionnaire and 42% according to the results of clinical test. Periodontal attachment loss was found to be could be an earlier indicator or a possible risk factor of DH, indicating the need for clinical initiative in the management of hypersensitivity in chronic periodontitis patients.
Résumé
Background: Probing of the periodontal pocket is an essential part of the diagnosis of periodontal disease and 15-77% of untreated periodontal patients experience pain during probing. Therefore, the objective of this study is to evaluate the pain perceived by patients with dental plaque-induced gingivitis and chronic periodontitis during periodontal probing and the main objective includes the evaluation of the relationship between pain perceived during periodontal probing and gingival inflammatory parameters. Material and Methods: A total of 475 participants were recruited into the study. The patients were divided into two groups: Group-A (Gingivitis Group - 275 patients) and Group-B (Chronic Periodontitis Group - 200 patients). Clinical parameters included analysis of bleeding on probing, simplified gingival index, pocket depth on probing, and clinical attachment level. Pain score was recorded using the HP VAS scale and all patients participated in the study after a detailed explanation of the study protocol. Results: A significant difference in pain perception was noted between groups, highlighting the role of the degree of inflammation in the examination of periodontal parameters. Conclusion: Within the limitations of the present study, we can conclude that pain perception is directly correlated with the degree of inflammation in periodontitis rather than plaque-induced gingivitis during periodontal probing. Therefore, some form of adjuvant topical anesthesia may be considered in order to reduce pain levels in severely inflamed patients, to encourage continued acceptance of supportive periodontal therapy.
Antecedentes: El sondaje de la bolsa periodontal es una parte esencial en el diagnóstico de la enfermedad periodontal. 15-77% de los pacientes periodontales no tratados experimentan dolor durante el sondaje. Por lo tanto, el objetivo de este estudio es evaluar el dolor percibido por pacientes con gingivitis inducida por placa dental y periodontitis crónica durante el sondaje periodontal y el objetivo principal incluye la evaluación de la relación entre el dolor percibido durante el sondaje periodontal con parámetros inflamatorios gingivales. Material y Métodos: Un total de 475 sujetos fueron reclutados en el estudio. Los sujetos se dividieron en 2 grupos: Grupo - A (Grupo de gingivitis - 275 pacientes) y Grupo - B (Grupo de periodontitis crónica - 200 pacientes). Los parámetros clínicos incluyeron el análisis del sangrado al sondaje, el índice gingival simplificado, la profundidad de la bolsa al sondaje y el nivel de inserción clínica. La puntuación del dolor se registró utilizando la escala HP VAS y todos los pacientes participaron en el estudio después de una explicación detallada del protocolo del estudio. Resultados: Se notó una diferencia significativa en la percepción del dolor en el grupo B que en el grupo A, lo que significa el papel del grado de inflamación en el examen de los parámetros periodontales. Conclusión: Dentro de las limitaciones del presente estudio, podemos concluir que la percepción del dolor se correlaciona directamente con el grado de inflamación que se observa en la periodontitis más que con la gingivitis inducida por la placa dental durante el sondaje periodontal. Por lo tanto, se puede considerar alguna forma de anestesia tópica adyuvante para reducir los niveles de dolor en pacientes gravemente inflamados para fomentar la aceptación continua de la terapia periodontal de apoyo.

Objetivo: estudos sugerem uma associação entre a doença periodontal e a doença pulmonar obstrutiva crônica (DPOC). O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a condição periodontal em pacientes com DPOC. Metodologia: Este estudo transversal incluiu 33 pacientes com DPOC e 30 pacientes sem DPOC (grupo controle). Todos os pacientes realizaram espirometria e foram examinados por um dentista. A condição periodontal foi avaliada através dos seguintes índices: número de dentes, índice de placa (IP), índice de sangramento gengival (IG), profundidade de sondagem (PS), PS dos sítios doentes (PSD), nível de inserção clínica (NIC), NIC dos sítios doentes (NICD) e percentual de sítios doentes (NICDP). Para análise estatística foram utilizados o teste de qui-quadrado de Pearson, o testet de Student, análise de regressão logística e cálculo do odds ratio. Resultados: O grupo DPOC apresentou maiores IP (p=0,01), NIC (p=0,001) e NICDP (p<0,001), com odds ratio de 1,2 (95%IC: 1,0231,408). Conclusões: Os pacientes com DPOC apresentaram pior condição periodontal. Mais estudos são necessários para esclarecer o papel da terapia periodontal no protocolo de acompanhamento dos pacientes com DPOC

The aim of this study was to evaluate the periodontal status in patients with COPD. Methods: this cross-sectional study included 33 patients with COPD and 30 patients without COPD (control group). All patients underwent spirometry and were examined by a dentist. Periodontal status was evaluated by the following indexes: number of teeth, plaque index (PI), gingival bleeding index (GBI), probing depth (PD), PD of diseased sites (PDD), clinical attachment level (CAL), CAL of diseased sites (CALD) and percentage of diseased sites (CALDP). The findings were analyzed under Pearson's chi-square test, independent samples t test and logistic regression with odds ratio. Results: the COPD group had higher PI (p = 0,01), CAL (p = 0,001) and CALDP (p <0,001), and the odds ratio for patients with COPD was 1.2 (95% CI: 1,023-1,408). Conclusions: patients with COPD present worse periodontal status. More studies are needed in order to clarify the role of periodontal therapy in the management of COPD.

Background: Advances in oral and periodontal disease diagnostic research are moving towards methods wherein periodontal risk can be identified and quantified by objective measures such as bio?markers. Given the roles of vitamin D binding protein (DBP) in modulating the immune response and in the transport of vitamin D, it is hypothesised that quantitative changes of vitamin DBP are associated with periodontal disease. Aim: The aim of the current study is to measure DBP levels in serum and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) of patients with generalised chronic periodontitis, in comparison to healthy controls. Materials and Methods: The present cross?sectional clinico?bio?chemical study includes 30 systemically healthy subjects with 15 periodontally healthy and 15 chronic periodontitis subjects who were recruited from the out?patient Department of Periodontics. GCF and blood samples were collected from all the patients. DBP estimation was performed in both the samples using a commercially available ELISA kit. Results: Serum and GCF DBP levels in chronic periodontitis subjects were significantly higher when compared to the periodontally healthy group. There were no significant correlations found among serum and GCF DBP levels with gender and increasing age in both the groups. An increase in disease severity measured by the increase in probing pocket depth and clinical attachment loss did not show correlation with the GCF and serum DBP levels in the chronic periodontitis group. Conclusion: Based on the findings of the present study, increased serum and GCF DBP levels in chronic periodontitis seem to be a probable marker for identifying ongoing periodontal destruction.
Résumé
Background: Probing of periodontal pockets is an essential part in the diagnosis of periodontal disease. Fifteen to seventy seven percent of untreated periodontal patients experience pain during probing. Hence the aim of this study is to evaluate the pain perceived by patients with gingivitis and periodontitis during periodontal probing. The goals of this study were to compare the patients' pain perception when using a conventional UNC15 probe and a manual pressure sensitive periodontal probe, and to relate the clinical features of gingivitis and periodontitis to the discomfort associated with periodontal probing. Material and Methods: A total of 475 subjects were recruited into the study. The subjects were initially divided into two groups Group A (Gingivitis group - 275 patients) and Group B (Chronic Periodontitis group -200 patients) according to the AAP 1999 Classification. These two groups were further subdivided into two groups each (Gingivitis Conventional Probe GCP, Gingivitis Manual Pressure Sensitive Probe GMPS, Periodontitis - Conventional Probe PCP, Periodontitis Manual Pressure Sensitive Probe PMPS) using a computer generated program of random numbers. Results: A significant difference was noted in pain perception when pressure sensitive probe was used compared to conventional UNC-15 probe. Reduced Bleeding on Probing and Pain scores were noted in Chronic periodontitis subjects with use of pressure sensitive probe, which was statistically significant (p<0.001). Conclusion: Dentistry has changed its focus towards painless dentistry. In this context, the present study presents data towards use of manual pressure sensitive probes, which offers an advantage of low cost when compared to more advanced computerized systems with reduced pain during periodontal examination. It could result in a positive attitude of the patients towards continuous supportive periodontal therapy thereby monitoring periodontal health.
Antecedentes: El sondaje de los sacos periodontales es una parte esencial en el diagnóstico de la enfermedad periodontal. Del quince al setenta y siete por ciento de los pacientes periodontales no tratados experimentan dolor durante el sondaje. De ahí que el objetivo de este estudio fué evaluar el dolor percibido por pacientes con gingivitis y periodontitis durante el sondaje periodontal. Los objetivos de este estudio fueron comparar la percepción del dolor de los pacientes al usar una sonda UNC15 convencional y una sonda periodontal sensible a la presión manual, y relacionar las características clínicas de la gingivitis y la periodontitis con la incomodidad asociada con el sondaje periodontal. Material y Métodos: Un total de 475 sujetos fueron reclutados en el estudio. Los sujetos se dividieron inicialmente en dos grupos - Grupo - A (grupo de Gingivitis - 275 pacientes) y Grupo - B (grupo de Periodontitis Crónica - 200 pacientes) de acuerdo con la Clasificación AAP 1999. Estos dos grupos se subdividieron en dos grupos cada uno (Gingivitis - Sonda convencional - GCP, Gingivitis - Sonda manual sensible a la presión - GMPS, Periodontitis - Sonda convencional - PCP, Periodontitis - Sonda manual sensible a la presión - PMPS) usando un programa generado por computadora de datos aleatorios. números. Resultados: Se notó una diferencia significativa en la percepción del dolor cuando se usó una sonda sensible a la presión en comparación con la sonda UNC-15 convencional (p<0,001). Conclusion: La odontología ha cambiado su enfoque hacia una odontología sin dolor. En este contexto, el presente estudio presenta datos hacia el uso de sondas manuales sensibles a la presión, que ofrece una ventaja de bajo costo en comparación con sistemas computarizados más avanzados con reducción del dolor durante el examen periodontal. Podría resultar en una actitud positiva de los pacientes hacia la terapia periodontal de apoyo continuo, monitoreando así la salud periodontal.

Background: The present study was aimed to evaluate the efficacy of 1.2% Atorvastatin (ATV) with 1.2% Rosuvastatin (RSV) as local drug delivery for treatment of Chronic Periodontitis (CP). Materials and Methods: Forty patients were equally divided into two groups. Group A underwent scaling and root debridement and 1.2% ATV gel (1.2 mg/0.1 mL) was placed, whereas group B received scaling and root debridement and RSV (1.2 mg/0.1 ml) was placed. Results: The results showed that both the groups had improvement in all the recorded parameters, and the results obtained were statistically significant. When comparison was made between the groups, no significant difference was obtained between atorvastatin and rosuvastatin at baseline in all recorded parameters. However, after 6 months significant improvement was recorded in CAL (Clinical attachment level) and PD (Probing depth). The plaque index (PI) and gingival index (GI) score however showed improvement, but it did not attain the level of significance. Conclusion: The present study showed improvement in clinical parameters with the use of ATV and RSV gel when used in combination with scaling and root planing (SRP) in CP patients. Patients with RSV gel showed up significantly better than the ones in which ATV gel was placed.
